Apparently an American Idol scout got him on the show and he was on the show can I see your voice.

He had two YouTube shorts that went viral getting 19 million views and another 21 million all within a month.

He is a bass singer and is part of the group called the Wellermen.

Have a hunky-dory day.

Very cool! I’ve been under the radar resting out content. I’ve had some shorts to to 20m and up. But long form is the way. Yt shorts pay is garbage. But hey. It helps with brand deals for sure. I made more on one video that I did an entire month of Adsense with one brand deal with Disney

Nice. I've been wanting to transition to YT from Twitch. Streaming is just such a hassle. Yeah, it's fun, but the associated bullshite is just something I don't want to deal with anymore. There's a degree of separation you get being a edited content creator that you don't get being a streamer. Less weirdos.

Brand deals are definitely the way to go. I often told my streamer friends, "If you're depending on tips to make this work, you're doing it wrong." Your value is your audience. Your a channel on the television. They don't owe you shite, and they can switch anytime. So, sell, sell, sell.

I had friends and peers that would get so butt hurt that someone unsubbed, and I never understood why. You're an entertainer and they moved on. So what? It's not that deep.

When he was on the show can I see your voice, the show mentioned that he had 1.3 million subscribers on Tiktok. Then a few months later he got a call from a talent scout from American Idol about an invitation. This all happened from January to March 2022.

His Tiktok account exploded. This will end up getting him voice acting and singing gigs in the future.

Its not that easy, but yes if you can make creative content that will consistently get a lot of views.

Just like TV, the more eyes that are on a TV show the more advertisers are willing to pay to advertise to all of those people.

I quit going live on TikTok long ago. It’s a waste of talent and time.
I have gone live on YT just to do it and interact a bit to built a community. I have about 10k people I can truly rely on which is big enough to keep getting funds coming in consistently. If you want to talk more hit me up outside of this. I’m very easy to find. Lol

The kid I do snake-catching trips with (about to do Florida/Everglades again next week) has been making well into 6-figures throughout his teen years. He has around 2 million subscribers now. Not only is it a real job - the kid might never have to get a “real” job in his life.
